crate-tsc

A simple CLI tool to create TypeScript projects with zero configuration.

Installation

You don't need to install this package globally. Use it directly with npm/npx:

npm create tsc my-project
# or
npx crate-tsc my-project

Usage

1. Run the command:

   npm create tsc

2. Follow the interactive prompts to configure your project:

   • Project name
   • Description
   • Author
   • License
   • TypeScript compiler options
   • Additional tools (ts-node, etc.)

3. Confirm your choices and the tool will create a fully configured TypeScript project.

• A ready-to-use package.json with TypeScript build scripts
• Preconfigured tsconfig.json based on your preferences
• Basic project structure with src/ and dist/ directories

• Optional ts-node setup for development
